Drumconrath 3-6
Kilmainham 0-9

They say goals win games and this can be said about this game as Drumconrath hit 3 and that was the difference in the end. Discipline also has a part to play and when Kilmainham lost 2 players after 35 and 45 minutes it did their cause no good at all. Drumconrath finished with 14 Damien Glass got a Black card in injury time to go with an earlier yellow but the game was settled at that stage.

Drums have now won 3 out of 4 league games all against Intermediate sides.

Kilmainham with Shane Morgan and Freddie Newman looking lively did well in the 1st half despite the sticky conditions and led 0-6 to 0-2 as injury time approached in the 1st half but Jamie Myles was hauled down in the square and Stephan Crosby scored the resulting penalty to add to his two 1st half frees to leave a single point between the sides at the break 0-6 to 1-2.

Kilmainham pointed early in the 2nd half but then the indiscipline set in. Myles hit a fine point on the run after 38 minutes and Newman replied with a free but then good work from Derek Duff and Peter McEvoy found Crosby close to goal and despite close attention from a number of Kilmainham defenders he managed to find the net to put Drums 2-3 to 0-8 ahead.

Drumconrath outscored the numerically disadvantaged visitors 1-3 to 0-1 for the rest of the half with Gavin Finnegan, Myles pointing and when on a break away attack Tomas Conlon was found in space and he netted Drums 3rd major. Alan Byrne pointed on 60 minutes as Kilmainham added an injury time point to end the scoring.
